Abstract
A grease composition includes a base oil, a thickener, and an additive. The base oil contains a synthetic oil. The thickener contains a compound having a urea group. The additive contains a phosphoric compound, a calcium-based compound, and a hydrocarbon-based wax. A hub unit includes the grease composition enclosed therein.
Claims16
A hub unit in which a grease composition is enclosed, the hub unit comprising:
- a hub wheel;
- an outer ring;
- an inner ring member;
- a plurality of balls;
- and
- two seal members,
- wherein the grease composition is enclosed in an annular space formed by the outer ring, the hub wheel, and the two seal members,
- wherein the grease composition comprises a base oil, a thickener, and an additive, wherein:
- the base oil contains a synthetic oil;
- the thickener contains a compound having a urea group;
- and
- the additive contains a phosphoric compound, a calcium-based compound, and a hydrocarbon-based wax;
- wherein
